I think LE likes us doing some of their work for them

There are a lot of heavy hitters in this thread. Knives sharpen knives and a community banded in cooperation will produce!

I can't say for sure, but can give my thoughts.

I do believe the first sketch was the suspect from the phone/bridge.

If you look at the sketch, you notice that the artist used a hat, and also tried to mock the hoodie from the phone image. I believe they thought the second was more accurate, and wanted people to forget the first one, and the only way to do that was to simply say the first one wasn't the suspect.
My opinion.

I am in complete agreement with you, but if this is actually the case, LE should not introduce information that contradicts reality (the sketches are two different people, etc.). I apologize for getting us a bit off track. My intention was not to bring us back to the difference between the the two sketches or argue about 1 perp vs. 2 perps. I was trying to make sense of the recent comment about the voice potentially being shown with the wrong picture (again if the two sketches are just differing renderings of the SAME person, that recent comment takes on a whole new meaning!). For me personally, I am going to move forward with the assumption that we know nothing about the relationship between the two sketches. Thank you to all.

Makes sense to me. I don’t know right now which link it is that has him speaking about how Indiana should do better (idk what he was talking about) and a reference to Luna Games so his voice is recorded on that photo.

A comment in that video says that was from a 2018 conference but regardless, that has me floored.
I do know for a fact (but I will say iirc) that they didn't rule out 2 suspects so it's wide open.
Jmo.

The subject of there being more than one person involved was raised in the April 22, 2019 presser, not in 2018.

In news conferences on the Delphi slayings, law-enforcement authorities have seemed to focus on searching for one, as yet unknown man, but Riley said that's not necessarily the case. "There's still a possibility there may be more than one suspect. We have not narrowed it down to how many people have been involved in this."

The two contrasting sketches led some to wonder if there was more than one person involved in the killings. “We’re not sure about that,” Leazenby said.
Delphi murders investigation still fueled by tips after three years

Could there be multiple suspects?
Investigators have never said for certain whether there was only one suspect in the slayings. When asked whether they could be looking for more than one person, Riley said, "We're not ruling out anything at this point in time." It's for that reason that investigators don't want to completely discount the earlier police sketch of what looks to be an older suspect. "There's still the possibility of a second person involved in this case," Riley said. "We don't want to say the old sketch is not involved, we just want to say that this new sketch is more indicative of what we're looking for at this time."

Leazenby stated the investigation is not “stalled.” And it has not been determined if there was one or more perpetrators.
“We go back and forth on that,” he said.

Wow. My daughter just came by and I pulled up the photo and I pointed to an area. I asked her what she saw. She has no idea what she’s looking at or why I’ve asked her such a thing. She looked at me and said “a face - a girl with brown hair”. I am blown away. Wow again. Look up towards the center of his hat kinda veering ever so slightly right. There’s an almost bluish-grayish area. I wanna say it almost lightly glows. There’s no way my daughter can walk in from nowhere and look at a photo and say that unless it’s there.

Try saving the image to your photos. Then select it and choose View with Google lens. It brings it into focus a little bit better.

 

[Peppery]

I think someone is editing his FB. There’s now no schools/colleges listed. Seems an odd thing to change out of all the things on his page.

 

[imstilla.grandma]

The bluish thing is the drawing. It looks like it got wet so it must have been drawn with blue ink to still retain the image. Does he talk about ink?

I opened it in photoshop and I'm still not seeing anything other than the creep, tree limbs, and some sort of discarded blue-ish item in the shrubs.

Does anyone think that he is going to claim that he did not allow the police to search his house without a warrant?

Also, why in the world would he allow police to search his house...did he think they were going to peek around in his living room and leave?

“A post on Facebook from a woman who said she was related to the 9-year-old victim claimed Chadwell “strangled her so bad blood came out of her eyes! Her trachea is damaged to where all she do is eat through a straw!!! If it hadn’t been for the speed of the Lafayette Police Department arriving on the scene, she would be dead!!…She was only 9… he’s punching her and his pit bull is biting her!!” She praised first responders.”

The schools were listed on a different FB account he had, one that seemed older and abandoned, fwiw.

BBM:

He sure popped out the words, “psych eval”, asking for one.

Maybe he does.

My armchair psychologist opinion, based primarily on his FB posts, is that playing the victim card is generally his go-to move, as opposed to showing even a modicum of accountability. It stands to reason that he’d much rather blame his “issues” on something psychological and therefore (supposedly) out of his control rather than just admitting that he’s a who can’t control his sadistic urges.

“In one post on Facebook, Chadwell wrote, “I’m in love with a lil redhead. You make my soul smile.. I’ll chase you til I can’t walk, then I’ll chase you in my wheelchair.””

“He also shared numerous posts and photos showing he had an affinity for the woods and outdoors, as well as a picture of a railroad bridge.”

[...]

“In a June 2020 post he wrote, “Sleeping under a bridge for a while til work starts. Only ten days. Cool, dry, no neighbors, and the bridge is only six minutes from work. Be thankful for the little things.””

Also, why in the world would he allow police to search his house...did he think they were going to peek around in his living room and leave?

The bodycams on the police would have recorded his voice and the video of him saying they could look around.

I'm thinking that their bodycams were turned on, especially during a situation like that.

Eta: Especially if/when they heard he had priors from dispatch. I did not hear that this came over the scanner.
